Coolant: Testing and Inspection

Inspection
LEVEL CHECK





^ Check if the reservoir tank engine coolant level is within MIN to MAX when engine is cool.
^ Adjust engine coolant if too much or too little.

CHECKING COOLING SYSTEM FOR LEAKS





To check for leakage, apply pressure to the cooling system with the radiator cap tester (commercial service tool) and the radiator cap tester adapter (SST).
Testing pressure: 157 kPa (1.6 kg/cm2, 23 psi)

WARNING: Never remove radiator cap when engine is hot. Serious burns could occur from high pressure engine coolant escaping from radiator.

CAUTION: Higher pressure than specified may cause radiator damage.

NOTE: In a case that engine coolant decreases, replenish radiator with engine coolant.

^ If anything is found, repair or replace damaged parts.
